Boss Zhou Knows How to Treat People Right

[The next novel's preorder notice is at the very bottom]

The Shen family went bankrupt.

The couple, who had started from scratch and were now left with nothing, came to terms with it and decided to return to their hometown to farm.

After hearing this, Shen Nian resolved to get his act together and support the whole family.

He waved goodbye to his parents and set off, going to a city less than 50 kilometers away from them to submit a resume and interview for a job. Instead, he fell for a scam, and there was no way to get back his only 500 yuan.

"You bastards! I'll call the police and have you arrested!"

Shen Nian crouched by the roadside, looking miserable.

He was too embarrassed to go home. He was so hungry. Could some kind soul please save him?

Zhou Mingyue looked at the person crouching outside his shop and frowned. "Move."

Shen Nian looked up, his pretty face smudged with dirt. "Are you hiring?"

*

A pampered young man joined Zhou Mingyue's car dealership. He had a keen eye for cars, but his hands-on skills were nonexistent.

Every day, he ran his mouth, criticizing everyone without discrimination.

Employee: "Boss, how can you put up with him?"

Zhou Mingyue: "Ignore him. He's got issues."

Then one day, Shen Nian had red marks on his slender, pale neck, while Zhou Mingyue had several scratches beneath his undershirt. That's when everyone found out. Ah, so much for being fellow employees. They'd quietly become a little boss and his kept man.

Setup: Height difference, build difference. Dark-skinned boss top x down-on-his-luck young master bottom.

Important: 1v1, happy ending, mostly focused on the couple, a sweet little story. (Note left on 2024.07.01)

[The Ten Yuan I Owed My Ex Had Him Chasing Me Down to Bite Me] Rental-apartment story | small-town life | second chance after a breakup | mutual crushes

Six years ago, Lu Xu and Gu Sucheng had neither parents nor anywhere else to go, so they reluctantly moved into the same rental apartment and finished their final year of high school together.

They got on each other's nerves, fell in love, and eventually broke up.

Six years later, Lu Xu was sitting around in a daze at a bus stop when his ex, dressed to the nines, "fell from the sky."

But there were no meaningful gazes or passionate love and hate.

Gu Sucheng: "Pay me back."

Lu Xu was shocked and blurted out, "Gu Sucheng, are you crazy? You expect me to pay back ten yuan?"

Gu Sucheng draped his jacket over his arm and sat down beside him. "Didn't you call me stingy? Ten yuan is still money."

[Preorder blurb: After the Drama Queen Side Character and the Villain Get Married by Contract] Abstinent villainous CEO top x cute, direct, drama-loving beauty bottom. A ridiculous, funny story about a drama queen.

After a car accident, Jiang Yansheng awakened and discovered he was a pitiful sacrificial side character.

His rich young master identity was fake, his fiance was a sham, and his friend was a two-faced schemer. In the end, he became a stepping stone for a scumbag and his fake sweetheart to succeed, and wound up dead at the bottom of the sea.

In the hospital corridor, the scumbag was fawning over a tall man.

Jiang Yansheng rolled his eyes. Hmph. Men.

He gave up. The world was one big amateur production, anyway!

The next moment, the tall man walked in, and Jiang Yansheng remembered that his name was Pei Cheng, the villain in the scumbag's eyes.

*

After being discharged, Jiang Yansheng was handed over to Pei Cheng and moved into a huge estate.

So the villain would take care of him in his old age, Jiang Yansheng went up to Pei Cheng when he came home late on the first night and asked eagerly, "Honey, would you rather eat noodles or eat me?"

Pei Cheng frowned. "...?"

From then on, Pei Cheng received Jiang Yansheng's clingy, affectionate greetings every day.

Pei Cheng didn't refuse. He just thought Jiang Yansheng was too clingy.

Jiang Yansheng obediently played the pampered caged bird, gradually letting loose.

On the outside: "Honey, I'm so delicate. You have to protect me~"

On the inside: I see right through you. I want to rip your hair out!

When the scumbag asked to meet, Jiang Yansheng's eyes filled with tears. "I'm already a married man. We can never be together!"

When his two-faced friend tried to take advantage and move up in the world, he wailed through his tears, "He's all I have. Please don't take him away from me."

When his awful parents tried to extort money from him, he complained, "We're only a married couple in name. I don't have any money."

Everyone: Jiang Yansheng, stop pretending!

Jiang Yansheng: I'm not pretending.

*

Pei Cheng had been called a genius since childhood. Everyone in Fengcheng feared him, afraid of making him angry.

Only Jiang Yansheng was like a little animal, circling him all day and sometimes even showing him his belly to rub.

Everyone was waiting for Jiang Yansheng to anger him and get thrown out of the Pei family. Instead, they caught Pei Cheng, who never set foot in places of drink and women, carrying Jiang Yansheng out of a bar, one hand gripping his waist and his face full of displeasure.

Jiang Yansheng bit his shoulder. "I was only having fun! You're the one who didn't answer my calls!"

Pei Cheng tugged at his tie. "Then have fun with me."

*

Later, Jiang Yansheng ran away, and Pei Cheng went mad.

He had the scumbag, the two-faced friend, and Jiang Yansheng's awful parents all driven out of Fengcheng and sold off.

Pei Cheng searched the whole city and finally found Jiang Yansheng in a small building.

In the dark stairwell, his eyes red and his voice low, he asked, "Shengsheng, are you going to run again?"

Jiang Yansheng sweetly coaxed him. "Who ran away? I was playing hide-and-seek with you! You're so amazing, you found me so quickly!"

His inner monologue: Oh no. At first, I really was just trying to save up for my coffin!

Theme: A small town can be a wonderful place to live, too
